That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

lots of girls want that fairytale ceremonial thing.

I don't get the sense that that's what Pam wants, though. I think she'd be happy about it no matter how it happened (okay, except not during one of Michael's meetings). I agree that she's waiting for him because he's made a game out of it now, so she probably feels like it's going to happen sometime soon.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I think I may have just given up Jim/Pam shipping for Jon B./FAQwife.

I was just going to say something very similar...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee!! I just watched the episode (finally!) last night, and coming in to read this all was so damn made of CUTE!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I too finally got to see The Office last night. I suspect Jim is more invested in the fairy tale proposal than Pam is. Though I think Pam would be more invested in the fairy tale wedding than Jim would be. But what happens to Pam at the Pratt Institute? Does she start growing away from Scranton and Jim?

But you know, the job as Michael's supervisor is now vacant. And I think Jim is at or near that point where his job becomes a career whether he thinks in those terms or not.

I did like that Michael's meltdown seems to have halted. It was getting to a breaking point. Now, why he's willing to be Jan's Lamaze partner.... And how that affects things with Holly....

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

My DH is now quoting "HR is full of monsters" at me on a regular basis.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I sense (pure speculation) a major lawsuit next season. I'm not sure why, and I'm not sure who would sue. I could see Stanley or Kelly, maybe. I also sense Phyllis losing patience, but she'd more likely quit and work for her husband. Although if nobody has sued yet, I kind of wonder if anyone ever will.

But the transition from Toby to Holly means a switch from HR as (attempted) brake on Michael's most egregious instincts to HR as a foot on the gas pedal. We're talking someone who, the first day on the job, talks to her boss about planning an orgy.
